How to play Roulette online

As we’ve said on other sections of the website the game of Roulette is very simple to understand, however as it allows for very complex betting patterns it is possible to reduce the amount of risk in every bet covering you against losses. But how is this game played? In this section of the website we give you a brief explanation of the game of Roulette.

Roulette is always played on a numbered wheel with 37 or 38 black or red spaces (one for each number) with either 1 or 2 of these numbers being zeroes. This wheel is operated by a casino employee who is known as the croupier. It’s the job of this individual to watch the table to make sure everyone bets at the right time, to spin the wheel and finally pay out any winning bets. The Roulette wheel will usually sit in a casino on a green felt table with a large betting grid in front of it. The wheel will have a large silver cross spider in its centre that is spun by the croupier, who will also race a small white ball across the rim of the wheel so that the ball will fall into one of the numbered spaces. The croupier will then pay on all bets that contain that number.

In a casino when you bet on Roulette its imperative that you place your chips down before the wheel is spun or you may find yourself in trouble for making late bets. However, this isn’t such a problem online as you always place your bets then activate a spin ensuring you’ve made all the necessary wagers before spinning the Roulette wheel. The large grid in front of the wheel, usually lined with green felt to ensure that players can pick up chips off the table when necessary without stick or slide, is used to mark where players have placed their bets. For more information on the grid please see the sections on Inside Bets and Outside Bets.
